Enrichment and dynamics of Mastermind at E(spl)-C.

(A) Schematic overview of live imaging system used. Salivary glands from Drosophila larvae (left) have large nuclei with polytene chromosomes (centre, grey shading) in which E(spl)-C locus is detected as a band (centre, red) by live imaging when labelled using Int (orange)/ParB (red) system (right and Figure 1—figure supplement 1A). Recruitment of activation complexes, (CSL [green], NICD [purple], and Mastermind [magenta]) and of co-repression complexes (CSL and Hairless [brown]) is measured by their colocalisation with E(spl)-C. (B) Live imaging of GFP::Mam and GFP::CSL as indicated in relation to E(spl)-C marked by Int-ParB (magenta) in nuclei from Notch OFF (1151Gal4; UAS-LacZ) and Notch ON (1151Gal4; UAS-N∆ECD) salivary glands. CSL and Mam are enriched at E(spl)-C in Notch ON but not Notch OFF cells. Average enrichment: each pixel represents average enrichment of all aligned images, centred on E(spl)-C locus (0, grey bar). Enrichment profile: mean enrichment, with SEM, plotted on x-axis relative to position, y axis, centred on E(spl)-C (0). Grey area indicates region used for max enrichment. Max enrichment: mean of 10 pixels centred on E(spl)-C (Figure 1—figure supplement 1B) (Mam OFF, n = 32, Mam OFF, n = 30; CSL OFF, n = 45, CSL ON, n = 28; for p-values, see Supplementary file 1—Table 4). Box encompasses range between 0.25 and 0.75 quantile, whiskers extend to furthest points not considered outliers, bar marks median, cross marks mean, and each dot is the value for one nucleus. Scale bars represent 5 µm. Genetic combinations for all figures are provided in Supplementary file 1—Table 3. (C, C’) Dynamics of CSL::GFP (green), GFP::Mam (magenta), and Hairless::GFP (brown) at E(spl)-C in Notch ON cells measured by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP). Recovery of the indicated proteins was measured in a point bleached region-of-interest centred on E(spl)-C and normalised by using another region and efficiency of bleaching. Dots indicate 50% recovery. Legend summarises numbers of nuclei (n) and time to 50% recovery (t1/2). Error represents the standard error of the mean (SEM). (C’) FRAP analysis of CSL and Mam in cells depleted for Hairless (1151Gal4; UAS-Hairless RNAi) controls from (C) are included for comparison. (D) Trajectory density at E(spl)-C relative to whole nucleus from SPT of CSL::Halo (green) and Halo::Mam (pink) in Notch OFF and Notch ON cells. Both CSL and Mam are significantly enriched in Notch ON. Box plots as in (B). CSL-OFF, n = 5, CSL-OFF, n = 7; Mam-OFF, n = 5, Mam-ON, n = 13; for number of trajectories, see Figure 1—figure supplement 1F and for p-values see Supplementary file 1—Table 4. (E, E’) Survival curves depicting duration of trajectories in SPT of the indicated Halo fusion proteins in whole nuclei (E) and at E(spl)-C (E'), in Notch ON cells. Whole nuclei H2B::Halo trajectories are included for comparison in both graphs. For number of trajectories, see Figure 1—figure supplement 1F. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals, obtained from bootstrapping with 100 resampled datasets (Efron and Tibshirani, 1994).

Image analysis and effect of Hairless depletion on CSL and Mam.

(A) Scheme of the E(spl)-C in the Drosophila genome. Orange arrow indicates the insertion site of the IntB sequence that recruits ParB, E(spl)-mβ and E(spl)-m3 are shaded in magenta. (B) Schematic overview of image analysis. Images were rotated and a region of interest (ROI) was selected centred at the E(spl)-C. ROIs from images were averaged to produce an average enrichment image. 2D images extracted with the ROI were averaged in the y-dimension to generate an intensity profile enrichment plot, where the mean intensity and SEM were represented. For max values, the 10 middle values of the profile enrichment were averaged and plotted. Box encompasses range between 0.25 and 0.75 quantile, whiskers extend to furthest points not considered outliers, bar marks median, cross marks the mean, and each dot is the value for one nucleus. (C) Two colour images of Mam and CSL (labelled with GFP and mCherry, respectively) in Notch ON cells. Graph depicts correlation of the enrichment levels. (D) mRNA levels of Hairless in control (white RNAi) and Hairless RNAi conditions measured by RT-qPCR and normalised to RPL32. (E) Average enrichment, intensity profile and max values for Mam (n = 25, 27) and CSL (n = 37, 31) in Hairless RNAi (H Ri) in comparison to control, white RNAi (w Ri). For p-values, see Supplementary file 1—Table 4. (F) Graph shows the number of trajectories for each molecule, all but histones are Notch ON and separated into nuclear and at E(spl)-C. Trajectories were segregated into bound and diffusive, as depicted by the cartoon. Percentages of each population for CSL and Mam were calculated per nuclei, error represents SEM (percentage CSL vs. Mam p=0.003, n = 7, 13 nuclei). Diffusion coefficients were calculated per nucleus as well. Diffusion coefficient bound CSL vs. bound Mam (0.27 ± 0.04 µm2/s, 0.25 ± 0.01 µm2/s, p=0.63), diffusion coefficient diffusive CSL vs. bound Mam (0.01 ± 0.001 µm2/s, 0.01 ± 0.001 µm2/s, p=0.34).

Model illustrating different modes of Notch transcription hub.

In the absence of Notch activity (Notch OFF), target genes are inactive, CSL is complexed with co-repressors (e.g. Hairless). Following Notch activation (Notch ON), released Notch Intra Cellular Domain (NICD) (purple) generates a localised high concentration of transcription factors around target enhancer(s) referred to as a ‘hub’ (pink). Open hub: CSL (green) recruitment and accessible chromatin can occur in the absence of Mam. Engaged hub: presence of Mam (magenta) favours recruitment of additional factors, including Mediator CDK8 module (orange). Active hub: productive transcription, transition to this mode, with core Mediator (orange) and Pol II (pale blue) enrichment, is stochastic (dotted arrow). The probability can be enhanced by secondary signal, such as provided by ecdysone. Memory hub: CSL enrichment and chromatin accessibility remain after withdrawal of NICD.
